This game was given to me for signing up for the Sokpop newsletter. It's a very cute toy train game that's fully functional, but sometimes doesn't appear so. The tutorials are missing crucial information, like the fact you need to click on some things to collect resources, or that houses need available land around your tracks to build. Numerous times I was frustrated because of something small unsaid and found myself hunting through YouTube videos for solutions. Adding a simple Steam Guide would dramatically help the game's playability, if the tutorials can't be updated. If you're looking at this review, I assume you're already a railroad game enthusiast and these mechanics might come second nature to you. Though I'm not a fan of the genre, I'll say that this one's still worth a look for people who are.

[h1]Buy and play this BEFORE Soko Loco Deluxe. It's an astonishingly good game for this price point.[/h1] Soko Loco falls into a subgenre that I'll call Railroad-lites: Railway management games that have goal-driven gameplay like Railroad Tycoon without the massive web of variables that require dozens (if not hundreds) of hours of gameplay to fully appreciate. Of the games in its subgenre, it does the best job - even better than its deluxe version - of making you feel as if you are physically picking up and placing individual pieces of railroad track on the terrain. If you like train games because of how they remind you of playing with wooden train sets in your youth, Soko Loco is an absolute must-purchase. Even if not, I'd argue this game gives you tremendous value for its price-point. If you don't like the UX, you can always refund it and purchase Soko Loco Deluxe - it has several QoL improvements that will probably suit you. For my money, though, I recommend playing Soko Loco first. Highly recommended.

I ran into a bug where a house construction never ended and I don't like this type of game enough to power through it.

I really enjoy playing this game but it has already crashed twice..also it seems u can't save a level u can only restart it everytime u open the game again ;// still it's a sweet game and it'S fine for the price

A sweet little tycoon / transport game! Super super fun to play!

average train game. 8/10
